Polymarket Nordic Trader

AdvisoryAudited by Static analysis on Apr 30, 2026.

Overview

No suspicious patterns detected.

Findings (0)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If live mode is enabled, the skill can spend funds and change Polymarket positions across multiple markets.

Why it was flagged

This shows that live mode selects the real trading venue and the code programmatically submits trades. It is purpose-aligned and defaults to paper mode, but live mode can still mutate financial positions.

Skill content
live=True   venue="polymarket" (real trades, only with --live flag) ... r = client.trade( market_id=m.id, side=side, amount=size, ... )
Recommendation

Use paper mode first, set conservative position limits, and require explicit user approval before any --live run or live order placement.

What this means

A user may not realize before installation that the skill needs an API key that may authorize trading activity.

Why it was flagged

The registry-facing metadata says no credential is required, but the artifacts also show SIMMER_API_KEY is required and read by the code. For a trading bot, this is a material under-declaration of account authority.

Skill content
Required env vars: none ... Env var declarations: none ... Primary credential: none
Recommendation

Declare SIMMER_API_KEY as a required credential, document what account authority it grants, and use a revocable, least-privilege key with spending limits if available.

What this means

Users may underestimate the code and dependency surface that will run for a financial automation skill.

Why it was flagged

This shows an external pip dependency and runnable automaton entrypoint, despite the registry summary saying there is no install spec and this is an instruction-only skill. The dependency is also unpinned.

Skill content
"requires": { "env": [ "SIMMER_API_KEY" ], "pip": [ "simmer-sdk" ] }, ... "automaton": { "managed": true, "entrypoint": "trader.py" }
Recommendation

Align registry metadata with clawhub.json, pin or otherwise verify the simmer-sdk dependency, and review the full published trader.py before enabling live trading.
